Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born when I met you
Now I'm dying to forget you
And that is what I know
Though I dreamed I would fall
Like a wounded cannonball
Sinking down with my heart in tow
[Verse 2]
Bright lights like white lightning
Who shot me down
Who cut me down
I'm frozen in my bed
Till the day comes around
How I'm lost, how I'm found
[Verse 3]
There's a man all alone
Telling me his friends are gone
That they've died and flown away
So I told him he was wrong
That your friends are never gone
If you look to the sky and pray
[Verse 4]
Bright lights like white lightning
Who shot me down
Who will cut me down
I'm frozen in my bed
Till the day comes around
How I'm lost, how I'm found
[Verse 5]
Someone told me a lie
Someone looked me in the eye
And said time will ease your pain
But behold, when you fall
It's that same old cannonball
Coming back for your heart again
[Verse 6]
Bright lights like white lightning
Who shot me down
Who will cut me down
I'm frozen in my bed
Till the day comes around
How I'm lost, how I'm found
[Verse 7]
I was born when I met you
Now I'm dying to forget you
And that is what I know
